Mobilising people globally

Despite the current downturn in many markets, organisations continue to need internationally mobile workers to meet their business objectives. Indeed, recent years have seen a large increase in the number of individuals undertaking business trips and short term foreign assignments. But, maintaining an effective international mobility function that moves people around the world fluidly while sustaining alignment between broader HR strategies and global business objectives is no easy feat. Increased compliance, economic volatility, continued expansion into new territories and ever changing, complex tax, immigration and employment laws create a mountain of challenges facing organisations working to address the needs of today's international workers. How effective an organisation is at addressing these issues will determine how successful it is in managing mobility.

Our International Mobility team based in Dublin comprises over 40 people who work closely with organisations that deploy staff across international boundaries to provide strategic international mobiliity advice as well as dedicated support services. Our team in Ireland is part of a global network operating in 153 countries. Drawing on this significant resource pool of dedicated specialists both in Ireland and around the world, we are ideally positioned to help your organisation to manage the challenge of international workers.
